This bill proposes amending the Constitution to replace the 22nd Amendment's two-term limit with a new rule allowing election up to three times, as long as the third win doesn't come right after two consecutive terms. It keeps a similar rule for those who took office without election, limiting them to two elections if they served over two years of another's term.
This affects all U.S. voters and any future president, since it changes eligibility rules for who can be elected and how many times.
The change could allow former two-term presidents to run again after sitting out at least one election cycle, altering long-standing limits on presidential power.
